Re: # 3
One implicit goal of transformation has to be the avoidance of the very thing that we all lament--meetings about meetings. What is comforting is to realize that it is now within our grasp as never before.

Re: # 3
As long as the video is only one way, it's not so bad.
Now, if the person speaking could also see me on video, that would be something different - no putting the call on mute so no one knows I'm also making lunch or feeding the cat while I listen!
(And I'd have to make sure my hair is combed & no pj's for early Am calls!)

Deep in the survival bunker, the last surviving bureaucrat recorded his presentation from all the chairs in the room. Later, after he had reviewed and transcribed all the recordings, he would compile the summaries, send himself an executive report, and hold another meeting to discuss it. But for now, his report on current stocks of canned rations, office supplies, and neckties was receiving the full attention it deserved.

I had a manager who used to gauge how many hours we worked by checking to see who was logged into yahoo messenger.
Granted, this was before smart phones, so you needed to be by a computer to be able to respond quickly, if she sent a message - but it was still a pretty easy way to give the impression (aka "pretend") that one was working while making dinner or watching TV :)
